Why Accounting Flyer for Career Influencers
As part of PwC's multi-year commitment to raise awareness about careers in accounting, we created a flyer to provide professors and career and/or academic advisors with current messaging and supporting details to promote the accounting profession. It is intended to assist individuals counseling students to better understand skill sets and interests that align with the profession, and to articulate the vast array of opportunities. You can access these flyers on our Faculty Resources site (request access).
Accountants have impACCT video series

Each 5-minute episode integrates basic accounting concepts with real-world examples, demonstrating their profound impact on business, markets and investors. Topics include: balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, inventory, accruals, cyber security, fraud, ESG, SEC Reporting. You can access the videos and more information on our Faculty Resources site (request access).
Where accounting can take you – virtual event for students on 11/13
As part of our efforts to promote the accounting profession, we are hosting two virtual sessions titled “Where accounting can take you”. We would love for you to encourage your students to join us for the second virtual event, which is scheduled for November 13th from 7:00 PM to 7:45 PM ET. This session aims to provide students with valuable insights into the accounting profession, including what accountants do, as well as the benefits, skills, and value that a career as a CPA can offer. The first session took place on October 15th and was a great success. We are looking forward to an equally engaging and informative session this time around. Students can register for the event here.
